1. A remote sensing unit, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors that are configured to collect sensed data;
a storage unit that is configured to at least temporarily store the collected sensed data;
a processor that is configured to analyze the collected sensed data to determine if an incident has occurred; and
a communications unit that is configured to communicate with at least some of a plurality of additional remote sensing units in response to a determination that an incident has occurred.

Abstract
Methods for responding to a potential incident are provided in which data about the potential incident is received from a first remote sensing unit. Additional remote sensing units are identified that may have additional data about the potential incident, and additional data about the potential incident is received from at least some of these additional remote sensing units. The totality of the received data is then analyzed, and at least one remote entity is automatically notified regarding the occurrence of the potential incident.

28. A system for automatically responding to an incident, the system comprising:
-
a main processor; a main storage unit; and a communication unit, and wherein the communication unit is configured to receive data about the incident from a plurality of remote sensing units, wherein the main processor is configured to make a determination as to whether one of a plurality of incidents is likely to have occurred based on data collected from at least some of the plurality of remote sensing units and stored standards stored in the main storage unit, and wherein the main processor is further configured to automatically notify at least one remote entity via the communication unit upon making a determination that one of the plurality of incidents is likely to have occurred. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31)
